Power steering flush question.
I'm getting ready to flush the fluid and replace the filter. Can I just pop the low pressure line and drain it? Will the pump just pump the fluid out or do I need to turn the wheel from side to side?
Anything else I end to watch out for? This is on the 190 by the way. Thanks

Thanks again.

In my experience just sticking the front wheels up in the air / putting the front wheels on slip plates and turning the steering from lock to lock a few times does all the necessary bleeding.
The trick draining from the steering box looks a bit tight on the W201 - I haven't tried it yet.
